Be Prepared – Know Your Dates and Room Rate

Before calling the Citi Prestige Concierge, you’ll need to know the exact hotel, date, and room rate you want to book.

Picking a room rate at a Walt Disney World resort can be complicated because of the different room types and deals that Disney offers. You should use the Walt Disney World website to find which rooms are available on your desired dates and if there are any deals available. On the website, you’ll see 2 types of rates:

Room-only rates, that don’t include dining plans or tickets

Package rates, that include tickets and / or dining plans

Any room-only rate, including special offers, will be available to book through the Citi Prestige Concierge and eligible for 4th night free.

Room-Only Offers Are Eligible for 4th Night Free, but Ask the Concierge About Packages

Packages are a bit more complicated, so check with the concierge to confirm you’ll get a 4th night free with your booking.

How to Book Walt Disney World Resorts Through the Citi Prestige Concierge

Step 2. Give the Concierge Your Booking Request

If you have questions, start by narrowing down the dates and resorts so that the concierge can pull up the same rates as you.

Step 3. Ask Questions About Packages and Discounts

Once you and the concierge are looking at the same information, you’ll want to ask about what packages and discounted rates can still get you 4th night free.

Step 4. Confirm Your Rate and 4th Night Free Credit Amount

The concierge will be able to tell you the nightly rate for your stay. Make sure it is the same rate you expect. Even if it is lower, try to clarify why. The concierge may be looking at the wrong dates.

We even once had a concierge book us at the wrong hotel! Avoid these problems by making sure you’re talking about the exact same rate. The concierge will also be able to tell you how much your 4th night free benefit will be.

Step 5. Confirm, Book, and Receive Your Confirmation Email

Check Your Confirmation Email From the Concierge to Be Sure Everything Is Correct

Step 6. Receive Your 4th Night Free Credit

You can expect your 4th night free credit within 1 to 2 billing cycles of checking-out (or within 1 to 2 billing cycles of booking if you fully pre-pay your room).

Split Your Walt Disney World Stay to Use 4th Night Free Twice!

Folks often ask if you can use 4th night free benefit on an 8-night stay to get 2 free nights. If you book 8 consecutive nights (meaning 2 back-to-back 4-night stays) at the same hotel, you’ll only get ONE free night.

To get 2 nights refunded, you’ll have to split your stay:

If you split your stay, even with just a single night elsewhere in between 2 stays, you will get a credit for both stays at that same hotel

If you split the 8 nights over 2 hotels, you will get a credit for both stays. This is ideal if you’d like to experience 2 Disney resorts in 1 trip!

Splitting a Walt Disney World Stay

Walt Disney World makes it easy to split an 8-night stay between 2 resorts. There are 2 ways to do this.

Many Walt Disney World resorts come in pairs that are either physically connected or within walking distance. If you split a stay between these resorts, you can check-out of one hotel and walk your bags over to your next resort, where you could check-in and leave your bags with bell services until your room is ready. The entire process should take ~30 minutes.

Option 2. Split a Stay Between Any 2 Resorts and Transfer Your Luggage

Disney bell services will gladly arrange to move your bags between any 2 resorts. When you check-out of your first hotel, take your bags to the bell services desk and tell them which resort you’ll be going to.

You Can’t Walk Anywhere From Animal Kingdom Lodge, but With Help From Bell Services, a Split Stay Including a Savannah View Is Easy!

They’ll tag your bags with special, color-coded transfer tags, and they’ll arrive at your second resort’s bell desk in the late afternoon.

Thanks for your comment. The language has been corrected. The $2,025 figure was the total saved the first day we had the card, which included $1,165 for the two 4th night credits (and an airfare credit, and a signup bonus for hitting the minimum spend).

Thank for the answer but I don't think I worded the question very well. I mean are the 4th night free and airfare credit benefits available to use as soon as you get the card? Or do they become available after you meet the minimum spending requirement?
